10 mins prepServes 2
A salad designed to help reduce DHT conversion, which can worsen PCOS hair loss, featuring ingredients like pumpkin seeds and turmeric. Chickpeas provide zinc, further aiding in DHT reduction. This salad is often paired with protein for lunch.
Preheat oven to 375°F. Roast your broccoli and chickpeas on a baking sheet with olive or avocado oil, salt, and garlic powder for approximately 25 minutes. Once roasted, let them cool slightly. While cooling, prepare the turmeric tahini dressing by combining 1/4 cup tahini, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar, 2 tablespoons maple syrup, 1/4 cup water, 2 teaspoons turmeric, and a crack of fresh black pepper. To assemble the salad, add the cooled roasted broccoli and chickpeas, 1 cup chopped tomatoes, and 1/2 cup pumpkin seeds to a bowl. Pour the turmeric tahini dressing over the salad and mix well.
